“Sex is not the key to a happy marriage, but it’s a side effect. Although not every day!” she said. “If it’s every day, it loses its charm. It’s so important to maintain your chemistry. You have to continue to laugh, explore, have fun with each other and have romance. A good marriage, full of love, is my biggest accomplishment. Home is where my husband is. He is home. Everything outside of the family nucleus is an adventure that you’re living together.”

Hayek continued, “Even though I struggle every moment with my own judgement of my body, I’m in touch with myself. I try to be really aware of every muscle. It is sexy. Sexuality, what other people see in you, is enjoying your body. Involve your senses in your life, and you will become sexy. Dance, and not to look good. If you dance terribly, still dance.”

The Tale of Tales actress also gushed about her 8-year-old daughter, Valentina, who she and Pinault, 54, welcomed in September 2007.

“I had a child late in life. I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to,” she explained to the publication. “My body, as a miracle, had one. The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children [François Jr., Mathilde and Augustin James]. So I have four. And they are all so different.”
